Growing up, mad scientists were always the antagonists. I hated them! Doctor Octavius made sure of this.

Now, they aren’t so bad. I now understand they are responsible for technological advancements.

Out of the insane comes innovation.

I don’t think there’s a major scientist who wasn’t called “mad”. Einstein, Marie Curie, and Nikola Tesla were all considered mad scientists.

I even consider myself one. (When I edit)

You want to learn the mad sciences of editing, right? Follow along as I unveil the mysterious insane. It’s not going to be easy. Have faith!

1. Change Your Font When You Edit.

Bizarre right? The brain is a master of adaptation. Sometimes, this is favourable, other times, it’s not. In the case of editing posts, it’s not.

Once adaptation is completed the brain enters a state of relaxation (safety has been assured). As you write a post, your brain adapts to your font. Changing it forces the brain into a more active state.

It’s surprising how masters of camouflage🐱‍👤 (fluff) hide right in front of you. I am surprised most times.
